Mitch, Minnesota’s goal is to rape and pillage you like a Viking. Don’t register the car there. Call me to discuss. 815 342-9847 Steve

My wife put me on to the book. She's an avid reader (seems to go through 2 novels a week) and could care less about cars or racing. She read this about 6 years ago and loved it. Will definitely be in the theater for this one.

All coolant lines finished (first 3 pics) Beginning the plumbing for the dry sump. 4th pic shows the oil temp sensor plumbed in line. 5th pic is the coolant temp sensor. 6th pic is the breather for the dry sump tank. In the 7th pic, there are two oil lines, one to go from the oil cooler back...

Heat shield on and plumbing for the remote breather valve installed. On to installing the dry sump tank and the oil cooler, then plumbing the oil lines.

Son of a b$@&*. I can't believe the time I've spent on this trivial item. Having said that, I've figured it out. The Breather is a 26M thread and the insert (removed in the 2nd figure above) is a 16M thread. Dennis told me it was a 3/8" thread. Might be the only thing he's ever steered me...

How about a break on climate change......It appears the EU Parliament will likely approve the ETSC recommendations on speed limiters on cars sold in the EU. I'm curious what my UK and European colleagues think of this? Volvo seems to want to get out in front of it and be a champion. How much...

So, apparently I'm a nitwit. The breather is an M26. There's a portion that screws into it that is 3/8" (removed in second photo). I took it to ACE hardware and it screws nicely into 3/8" FPT. Talked with Dennis and, sure enough, he said it's 3/8" NPT. I order a 90 degree 3/8" NPT to -AN...

Perfect! Thanks Dick. Now, of course, I'm finding it a real PITA to find an M26 elbow fitting....

It is late model Boss 302. Purchased about 5-6 years ago. It does have a plug (4th picture) in the block in that location that looks like it would accept the plug in the third sensor. Wondering if the Oil temp sensor (1st pic) would go on the port front of the block where I started to insert...

Dave, could you send me a picture of your oil temp sensor installed?

I have an Aviaid dry sump pan. It does have a -12 outlet in the pan but I haven't seen anyone using it for the oil temp.

I'm now in a phase of hooking up sensors. There is an oil and coolant sensor (first picture) and an oil pressure sensor (a plastic tube). Coolant temp sensor goes into the intake manifold (second picture). Not sure where the oil pressure sensor should go. Dennis gave me an adapter for the...

Finishing up the heat shields to go around the exhaust (pics coming soon) and next will be mounting the dry sump tank.

Next up is hooking up the oil pressure, oil temp, and coolant temp sensors. Dennis gave me a little fitting seen in the first photo. Screws into another fitting at the left front of the block, second photo. That's for the oil pressure, which is just a plastic tube. There's a bundle that...

Still had issues with the coolant hoses rubbing against the dry sump belt. As a result, had some custom elbow made and now all is well. The clearance is still only a 1/2" or so. Also, the pulley is probably 3/8" or less from the firewall.

Mike, you're correct. I thought it was an NPT but it doesn't appear to be.

Yes, I have the breather assembly. It's "OK" but a remote breather would be better. The breather assembly tends to spit out oil too. I can't figure out what type of threads are used so I can get the appropriate 90 degree fitting. Trying to call and talk to someone at RBT is next to...

Does anyone know what type of fitting this is on the top of the ZF transaxle (in flipped position in an SPF)? I want to put an external breather on the transaxle and I can't find what kind of fitting this is. It doesn't seem to be an NPT.

Agree with the above. I bought from Rick and top to bottom, great experience and support. Wouldn't look anywhere else. I live in MN, so Rick isn't exactly in my back yard but it doesn't matter. I also had Dennis do the custom part of my build. Had I had the wisdom to have him do the entire...

Because he was stuck on a deserted island with two hot babes, a married couple, a nitwit, and a fat guy. He'll never get odds that good for the rest of his life.
